How much money (in BTC and fiat) have you lost in Bitcoin-related trades or investments or USD investments related with offers on this forum? Due to BTC volatility I am using USD in the poll.
I myself have lost about $198 (to Andrew Nollan shakaru).

There should be negative choices as some of us make a living with bitcoin.  well obviously most of us have made money, the thread is about those entries in the loss column I had 10 BTC sitting in bitcoinica...thought I was being smart by spreading my exchange risk off of GOX |
This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

There should be negative choices as some of us make a living with bitcoin. Overall I have made some money but the poll is only about losses. I know a lot of money was lost in hacks (bitcoinica, lineode, bitcoin7, mybitcoin, etc https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83794.0 ) and of course with Pirate. |

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

2.8 BTC, back when I was mining, bitcoinpool.com withdraw address was changed to whatever, I wasn't there to monitor so the payment went to whomever. They said it was a hack, facepalm when it looked like they got injected and used cheap PW hashing on top.

Had a similar thing happen to me but only lost 0.1 BTC but the fault was mine as I reused my password on slush pool and some other exchange/pool/website that got hacked. |

I feel like anyone who has made much has lost a little somewhere along the way. I know I have, often to my own fault for not more carefully verifying who I was lending to or investing in a sketch business, but that is what has also allowed me to make more than what I have lost.
